1 There are no set minimum or maximum levels for accepting hospitality from external stakeholders. Guidelines state that staff: should accept hospitality only when this can be defended as being in the interests of the Department's business – for example, because significant relationship-building is a business aim. When offering hospitality funded by the Department Of Health the following maximum allowable rates apply: £40 Lunch, £50 dinner. Does not normally include attendance at functions hosted by HM Government; ‘diplomatic’ functions in the UK or abroad, hosted by overseas governments; minor refreshments at meetings, receptions, conferences, and seminars; and offers of hospitality which were declined. | Date | Name of Organisation | Type of Hospitality Received (if accompanied by spouse, partner, or other family member or friend insert an asterisk \*) | |-----------------------|---------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 14 September 2011 | Clinical Commissioning Group - National Leaders | Dinner |
